I, Aaron J. Levine, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows:
1.
My na:re is Aaron J. Levine. I am the ranager of Project Licensing Unit-I for General Electric Ccr.pany's Nuclear Energy Products Division.
In this position, I have been involved in the AEC review of the General Electric cr. agency core cooling systen (ECCS) evaluation redels, ca develogrant of the schedules for canpleting calculation and in coordination with the operators of plants subject to new ECCS evaluation.
2.
C-2neral Electric has been requested by the operators of the following plants to provide mgency core cooling system (ECCS) calculations for filing on August 5, 1974, pursuant to 10 CFR s 50.46:

s d u.l-postulated loss-of-coolant accidents (IOCA) is covered.
4.
C-eneral Electric's new evaluation model consists of the folicwing parts:
a.
Short-Tem Themal-Hydraulic l'Mel; b.
Transient critical Pcwer Faiel; c.
Iong-Tena Themal-Hydraulic Model; d.
Core Heat-op Model.
5.
The AEC Staff review of the individual rdels ccmmnced in January 1974.
These models have been under intensive review by the Staff since that tima and have been discussed with the Advisory Ccr:aittee on Reactor S'.feguards. Upon concurrence frcm the Staff with the first tm parts of the redel in Anril, specific plant calculations were ccr.renced. The calculations for the last parts of the mcdel will ccimence prcrtly at tha timc at which t'- ; -m.y outputs fran the first prtc of the mcxlel are available.
6.
The current schedule for ccnpletion of calculations for these 20 plants is July 15, 1974. The results of the calculations will be prcngtly ccm-piled and distributed for use by the plant operators in their filings.
Because of the segaential procedure of the calculational oparation, the results of all 20-plant calculations will beccme available essenHally sinultaneously.
7.
Each plant uas fumished with preliminary estimates of the raxi. ca average planar linear heat generation rate expected for it as a result of the application of the Appandix K criteria. These rcrain the test estirates of the calculated results at this time.
It is General Electric's cpinion that for rest plants these estimates are accurate to about 103.
